We are still looking for equality, safety: Brie Larson
Sat 4 May 2019
Oscar winning-actress Brie Larson fronted Marvel Cinematic Universe's first female-led film Captain Marvel that crossed the $1 billion mark at the worldwide box office earlier this month. She says people, irrespective of the industry they are part of, are still looking for equality and safety.
Talking about the evils in Hollywood that she would like to stand up against, Larson, also a director, told IANS, "I think it's kind of the same for every industry right now. From the conversations I have had... we are still looking for equality and safety for everyone... to feel good, their work is appreciated, their minds and bodies are safe wherever they are."
She shared that playing the superhero with a military background has brought about many changes in her life.
"I just feel like in particular, with the strength training and getting to be Carol Danvers (Captain Marvel) for a little bit, I feel like it changed me. It made me carry myself differently, more upright for sure and that has helped me move forward for sure. It was great to share that character with the world and see that power can go through the screen to other people," she said.
The Room actress gets affected by the characters she plays on the big screen, and she has "little tricks" to be herself again.
"Whenever I play a character, I end up being somebody else for way more hours of the day than I am being myself. So, I usually try to come up with some ritual so that at the end of the day, I am back to myself," she said in a group interview here.
"Whether it's brushing my hair back to the part I always keep it at or putting on my favourite shirt or eating comfort food... something like that, that kind of brings me back to my centre because it's true if I work too much and play a character for too long, the only time I am with myself is when I am dreaming which is kind of odd. So, I come up with little tricks like that."
This is also the reason why Larson likes to take "big breaks between movies".
"That's my time to kind of figure out what I want to keep. There are also a lot of things I am ready to let go of.
"I don't want to think way or look the world that way anymore but I love it (playing different characters) because it has brought me such empathy for understanding maybe what it's like to be in other people's shoes. I'll never really know what it's like to be in other people's shoes but it has allowed me incredible opportunities to see things from new perspectives." - IANS

Vikings seek new leadership, fire GM Spielman, coach Zimmer
Posted: Jan 10, 2022 / 10:01 AM EST / Updated: Jan 10, 2022 / 08:09 PM EST

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings have started fresh with a search for replacements for general manager Rick Spielman and coach Mike Zimmer after a second straight absence from the playoffs for a 61-year-old franchise still seeking its first title.
The dual firings came one day after the 45th anniversary of Minnesota's last Super Bowl appearance, after owners Zygi Wilf and Mark Wilf met with each of the top two leaders before addressing the players at team headquarters.
"We strongly believe we need new leadership to elevate our football team. Our goal is to consistently contend and win championships," Mark Wilf said on a virtual news conference. "There's not just one person that's responsible. We're clearly disappointed in the football results this year, and over the course of the past few weeks this is something we've been thinking and deliberating quite a bit on."
Zimmer went 72-56-1 in eight seasons, the third-best winning percentage in team history, plus 2-3 in the postseason. The Vikings went 15-18 over the past two years. They won the NFC North in 2015 and 2017, but in the end the state of the division was the same as at the beginning of the Zimmer era — with rival Green Bay in firm control.
Zimmer went 7-8-1 against the Packers and found as much success against three-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers as anyone, but the overall deterioration of the once-dominant defense he built soon after his arrival was a big part of what led to his dismissal. The Vikings gave up a league-most 146 points in the final two minutes of either half or overtime.
"I have given my heart and soul to this organization and to the players. I have had outstanding assistant coaches who have worked tirelessly," Zimmer said in a statement released by the Vikings. "I'm sorry we didn't get it done."
The 65-year-old Zimmer had the seventh-longest tenure among head coaches in the NFL this season, with the 25 others in the league all hired within the past five years. The six peers ahead of him on the seniority list have all won a Super Bowl: Bill Belichick, Sean Payton, Mike Tomlin, John Harbaugh, Pete Carroll and Andy Reid.
"As an older guy, I don't know how much longer I'm going to play. I'm excited that we're not far away, and if we get the right people in here we could potentially take it to the next level," said wide receiver Adam Thielen, one of three players still on the roster to suit up for the pre-Zimmer Vikings.
The Wilfs have overseen the firing of four head coaches in 17 seasons owning the club, but Zimmer finished with the third-longest tenure in Vikings history behind Bud Grant and Dennis Green. Spielman and Zimmer were both given contract extensions in 2020.
Since Spielman was hired as vice president of player personnel in 2006, the only other NFC teams that haven't made it to a Super Bowl are Dallas, Detroit and Washington. Twelve different teams have won the conference in those 16 years, the past 10 of which Spielman had full authority over the roster as the general manager.
"It is not common in the NFL to be in a position for this long, which goes to show how this ownership group believes in stability and supports their leaders," Spielman said in a statement distributed by the Vikings.
Spielman was responsible for firing Leslie Frazier after the 2013 season and replacing him with Zimmer, who made his name as a clever and demanding defensive coordinator for Dallas and Cincinnati before finally getting his chance to run a team in Minnesota.
The 2017 team was the apex for the Spielman-Zimmer regime, when quarterback Case Keenum produced a career season and the defense led the league in fewest yards and points allowed.
The first crack in the foundation became clear in the NFC championship game, a 38-7 loss at Philadelphia one week after the "Minneapolis Miracle." After Keenum's 61-yard touchdown pass to Stefon Diggs as time expired beat New Orleans in the divisional round, the Eagles were the ones who made it to the Super Bowl in Minnesota's stadium.
Zimmer refused to cede the defensive play calling and, as Rodgers and other opponents will attest, remained one of the game's best strategists. His straightforward and hard-nosed approach won the respect of most of his best players on defense, but his style cut both ways.
Linebacker Eric Kendricks hinted at some tension when asked about his view on an ideal team culture with the next boss.
"Just having that voice, no matter how big your role is, is important, to listen up and take each other's feelings into account. I don't think a fear-based organization is the way to go," said Kendricks, who was with Zimmer for all but his first season.
Zimmer was never sold on Keenum and never meshed with current quarterback Kirk Cousins. He publicly second-guessed the offense several times, including just last week when he said after the Vikings were eliminated by a loss to the Packers that offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak should have called more running plays. Kubiak was the sixth offensive coordinator in the past six seasons.
After Blair Walsh missed a 27-yard field goal in the 2015 playoffs that would have given the Vikings a victory over Seattle, Zimmer became especially hard on kickers, too.
In 2018, the Vikings drafted kicker Daniel Carlson in the fifth round. In his second NFL game, he missed all three field goals at Green Bay, including two in overtime in a 29-29 tie. The Vikings impulsively released him the next day. When asked for an explanation, Zimmer said, "Did you see the game?"
Carlson missed just three field goals for Las Vegas this season. He sent the Raiders to the playoffs on Sunday by going 5 for 5 with the 47-yard overtime winner.
"I love coach Zim," linebacker Anthony Barr said. "I know he's catching a lot of heat, but players play the game, too. I think you can point the finger at us as much as you can point it at him. Somebody's got to be the fall guy, I guess."
Both in-house searches will begin immediately, but the general manager will be chosen first and have input into the head coach hire. Las Vegas, Jacksonville, Denver, Chicago and Miami also have vacancies for a head coach. The Bears and New York Giants need a new general manager, too.
The new regime must first figure out the quarterback situation. Cousins is coming off another productive season, but he's carrying a pedestrian 33-29-1 record with the Vikings. He carries a $45 million salary cap hit for 2022, the final year of his deal.

Apart from limited budget, the major reason on why I bought 'Don Quixote' was because I would like to try reading what it is called as a literary masterpiece that shapes the Western literature, the book that inspires so many great writers. Even John Steinbeck names his camper in his travelogue 'Travels with Charley: In Search of America' as Rocinante, the name of the protagonist's horse in 'Don Quixote'.
The other reason was feeding my ambitious goal of completing what would have been the thickest novel I would have ever read in my whole life; around 1,000 pages in some book versions. As I would have expected, the result of this reading experience was disastrous. I knew that this trial would turn out to be that miserable yet I kept reading the book until I eventually confirmed that my initial estimation was indeed correct.
It isn't about the language. The novel's language is simple, far from being complicated as I always read in Victorian novels so far. It is, in fact, straight-forward, not many implicit sentences. By the way, the book, whose complete title is 'The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha' is originally written in Spanish by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, published in 1605 and 1615. The one that I read is the English-translated one since I don't know about Spanish language at all.
It isn't about the content, too. In fact, this should have been my favorite because it is so hillarious.
The novel tells us about the adventures of Alonso Quixano, a man turning 50 years old. He decides to set up journeys with his horse and a farmer, Sancho Panza, under the name of Don Quixote after reading so many books about chivalry and romance as well. His mind is so occupied with the stories in those books that he creates his own kind of trips resemble to those in the books while acting like a knight in shining armors desperately wanting to rescue her love life, Dulcinea del Toboso, whose real name is Aldonza Lorenzo, his actual neighboring farm girl, who does not know anything about this, as a matter of fact.
On the surface, I laughed reading so many parts of the first pages of the books. I found everything that Quixote did was stupid, silly yet funny. But deep inside, I felt so sorry for him. Encountering a middle-aged man who was supposed to spend time with his family but Quixote, instead, launched a so-called literary fake journey to feed his absurdity. When his actions were met with people' weird eyes, some of them finally ended up in fatal fights, I found the novel was desolate.
Whenever I read this book I perceived like I was watching a dark comedy movie starring Adam Sandler. I felt like I was entertained in such joyful yet pathetic way at the same time.
So, it's not about the language, the topic that causes me to put it down in just after, may be around 100 pages out of the total 1,000 pages, so what are the reasons then?
The reason was as a simple but as very subjective as the feeling. I wasn't moved by the story. I failed to have my emotion stirred while reading the novel. All I could recall from the unfinished reading experience was that I got the core of the story (at least until one tenth of the whole volume), I sensed the atmosphere, I fancied the characters and events, I got the author's writing purposes. To declare that I was completely into the book, those outcomes were insufficient. To sum it all, I didn't enjoy reading the novel.
The cause was I disliked the writing type. Too straight, the kind of tell-not-the-show writing method. This is the type of writing that always fails to stimulate my imagination, emotion, thus, finally, fails to draw me into the novel, make me feel as part of it.
The second cause was that there are too many events within just several pages that put my brain, let alone my heart, like in a car race. I couldn't savor the art of the novel if I put my reading speed at its fullest. I was gasping for breath. My emotion did not go hand in hand with my brain.
I always feel guilty whenever I have to abandon this kind treasure but I can't forcing myself to read something that does not suit my heart. Each time I find the novel remains untouched after so many months (again) I feel a bit overwhelmed. I should never again consider people' judgement as a major factor that causes me to buy a book, not even Nobel Prize in Literature, Man Booker Prize Award, or Pulitzer Award. Making them as a recommended factor is fine but personal taste always comes first. If you find a book which doesn't touch your heart once you read the first sentences, better leave them away. Else, you will end up regretting your choice and feeling guilty looking at wonderful titles remain unread after so many months, years.
Whether or not your reading choice is widely considered as shallow, have no class at all, stick to your option always. Because, reading novels has to bring pleasure for you, if not, then may be what you read is obligatory. And that is no fun at all.
So, 'Don Quixote', may be, just may be if I ever change my reading taste, will I come back at you, again, and again?

When retirement approaches, some choose to have a ceremony and some like to fade into the wind.
For two sergeants in the 932nd Force Support Squadron, they got something special in between a ceremony and a farewell handshake.
Chief Master Sgt. Barbara Gilmore, 932nd Airlift Wing command chief, upon hearing two long standing members of the 932nd FSS were retiring during the November unit training assembly weekend, decided she wanted to thank them for their service and dedication. She presented each with a 932nd Airlift Wing coin and a few words of gratitude.
For Master Sgt. Jeffery Holmes and Staff Sgt. Germaine Yancy it was an unexpected surprise during their last drill weekend.
Holmes and Yancy have a combined total of 54.5 years of military service. A mixture of active duty and Reserve with Yancy having served in the Marines, Navy, Illinois Army National Guard and the Air Force Reserve.
"I look forward to more time with family and friends and especially being there for the birthdays," said Holmes about what he plans to do with his free time.
"This coin is a symbol of my time spent in the various military branches and my service as a whole," said Yancy.
Both NCOs had advice for those following in their footsteps.
Holmes wants the younger generation to enjoy their time and be sure to enjoy what they are doing while serving in the military.
Yancy added that they need to listen to their leadership.

My loving son Remington, you have given a mother more than she could have ever imagined or asked for, in Jesus name. I love you so so so much. We will all miss you and cherish your memory, but God almighty has called you home. He told me that I was ready to let you go, and I know that God does not make any mistakes.
Remington was born on September 21st, 1983 in Detroit, MI. Remy was a blessing to all that knew him. He graduated from Bryant High School of Livonia, Michigan in 2001. He was always a quiet spirit that was known for his beautiful loving smile, and being helpful to others. Remington found the Lord at an early age, and was baptized at the age of 19. Remington attended several colleges. He first attended Schoolcraft College of Livonia. Followed by Baker College of Owosso, MI, Central Michigan University, Grand Valley State University, and the University of Nevada LV. Remington only needed one semester to graduate with a B.S. in sports medicine. He always said "mom" I will finish one day". But, after several years of training, Remington decided to pack up for California, and follow his passion of Mixed Martial Arts, where he had his first professional MMA fight, in 2007. He won! Remington moved to Las Vegas the summer of 2008, were his mom had recently relocated.
Remington had a great love for Music, animals, and had recently adopted a pit bull terrier, affectionately known as "Sox". Remy also delighted in weight lifting, body building, and fitness his entire life.
He leaves to exult in his memory, his loving devoted mother, DaNita Stafford (mommy), father Michael Wilson, Grandmother, Carole "Mama", who proceeded him in death, Grandfather Everett Sr., auntie Kimberly, uncles Everett Jr., Micah, and his favorite uncle that proceeded him in death, Dion, cousins LaQuae, Amber, Justin, Mykah, Dion Jr., and Diondre, his best friend Chris, and a host of cousins, family, and friends.
My baby, I love and miss you so much. You are in my heart forever. You are so special, show your beautiful smile to everyone. Until we meet again. Surf the waves. Mommy loves you!
Remington my heart breaks every moment of the day. But I will try to be strong, because you told me I was strong enough to get through it and that you would be there with me, until we meet again. I will do Gods's will, because I know that he will reunite us one day son, but until then I love and miss you, and I am so grateful to good for the years that he gave me with you. But every day you are in my heart and I feel you all around me. Thank you Remy for being my son and leaving me those beautiful notes telling me how much you love me, and that I was a greatest mom. God has you now at peace and rest, I just cant wait to see mommy's baby beautiful smile and hug you so tight again.

Thanks for helping me through such an unimaginable time. I really appreciate you being here for me, and I know Remington thanks you for supporting his mom through such an emotional time.
Thank you for your condolences. He was such a sweet angel on earth that I know he will watch over us.
… "If love could have saved you, you would have lived forever" … Rest in Our Lord!
Thank you Bob, for your beautiful statement, it say's it all.
We don't have words to express the level of heartache one feels when it comes to the loss of a child. It is a burden one should not have to bare. I send my deepest sympathy to you Nita. I send prayers of peace and to our family and friends during this time of sorrow. Rest In Paradise Remy. May peace find you and everyone you touched.
Thank you for your prayers Lenora. He has truly touched many, and I thank God for the time that he gave me with Remy.
We had the pleasure of meeting Remy when DaNita moved to the neighborhood. For months, he came every day to check on her. He ALWAYS took the time and chatted with my husband or myself. We were so impressed how polite he was with us OLD folks, and how caring he was regarding his mom! He always had a smile, just like his mom. He will be missed by all the lives he touched.
Thank you for your beautiful words that describes my baby to a T. Thank you for sharing your memories of him, and thank you for all of your comfort and support.
My heart and prayers goes out to you, Danita Stafford may the Lord grant you peace and may your family and friends embrace and help comfort you.
Remy, I miss you dear friend, my best friend. You hold a place in my heart. I will always think fondly of our friendship. Daily, without fail you would show up to talk and just hang out. I always looked forward to our talks about everything under the sun, which became dimmer now that your not here. But I look at our time as friends as the best I've ever had. We are family you and I. We will continue to be until we meet again. Please listen to me when I'm lonely. Steady my brother I will stay the course on this journey to meet you at it's end. l cherish this friendship as do you. We will have much to talk about. I love you bud. Chris.
Thank you for being a friend to Remy.
Thank you Bo for being you, and always being there in time of need.
My cousin. My cousin. I am so sorry that i wasn't there for you the way i should've been it's just eating me up inside. ?I just pray that you rest peacefully and continue to watch over us. I love and miss you so much Rem. I will make one promise that from this day forward i will not allow my children to be distant from any of their cousins. We need each other, they will need each other. ?
I know that big cousin Rem will look down on all of his cousins and watch over them. He is souring high with the angels. Just remember all of the good times.
Dione, thank you so much for all your prayers, and checking on me daily, as I go through this difficult journey. I appreciate everything.
Thank you all so much, for sharing your prayers, kind words, and memories of Remington. As you all know he was my heart. Since his passing, each day has been so difficult to get through. But I know with God and your prayers I will make it. I will continue to do God's work, in honor of my father above and my beautiful loving son. Until we meet again Remington, I love and miss you more than words can express. Mommy will continue to make you proud of her. Be free my angel!
The Love goes on forever!
A year ago yesterday, you went home to the lord father. I have loved you more and missed you each and every day. I believed that I have shared a tear each day; which God has collected up, and added to my bottle of tears. I adore you Remington, you are the love of my life. Mommy is still trying to figure out life without you here. I loved doing life with you! You are still my beautiful baby, my angel. My goal each day is to do my works, so that I can come home and be with you and our Lord Father. God told you he would take care of your mommy, and his word is always good. I miss you so so much, but thank God for taking you home, to peace and no more pain. Remy you are free! Your favorite Jeremiah 29:13 "You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart." The beautiful eternal love and connection we have. The most sweetest, loving, humble and kind spirit ever. Love you with all my heart, mommy.
I hope these thoughts provide some comfort during this difficult time.
I love you beautiful angel. Every tear has brought me closer to you. Our love will never die, it only gets stronger and stronger. Oh how good God has been to us Remy, allowing us to stay so connected, until the day mommy comes home. We will spend eternity together in the Lord Father's beautiful heaven's in Jesus name. I miss you and cherish our love throughout eternity. See you soon beautiful, love mommy.

Owen Hatherley, A New Kind of Bleak: Journeys through Urban Britain (London and New York: Verso 2012)
OWEN HATHERLEY'S cameos of post-Blair Britain, like Cobbett's Rural Rides, occupy a genre spanning fiction and non-fiction with roots in Don Quixote, Pilgrim's Progress, and Dante's Inferno. As he guides the reader through the futility of Britain's post-Thatcher urban landscape, travel becomes the scaffolding of a sweeping social and historical narrative.
The critique works at several levels. The topmost is that Modernization Isn't Working. Squaring up to Tony Blair's crusading vision of a modern socialism behind the dubious banner of a caring neoliberalism, Hatherley lands many punches. Luton Airport is "one of the main places for processing the thousands of poorly-paid, poorly-housed East and Central European Gastarbeiter, those who largely constructed the 'New Britain' promised by the now defunct New Labour movement" (xi) while the City of London becomes the "neurotically protected undead capital of undead financial capitalism." (333)
Yet beneath the surface lies a Fings-Ain't-Wot-they-Used-to-Be celebration of pre-modern gentility. Of Plymouth he writes "If, for Aldo Rossi, Berlin's Stalinallee was 'Europe's last great street' / then Armada Way is certainly Britain's," (180) whilst Darlington Station--a commemoration, he reminds us, of the birthplace of the railways--"has a claim to being one of the most beautiful railway sheds on the entire network, a sombre, smoky and atmospheric place with a majestic series of curving vaults, a piece of Victorian high-tech whose beauty and emptiness are captivating." (38)
The messages jar. Were the people who built Darlington really better off than those who flock through Luton? Is a street which immortalises a four-century-old battle really the best that Britain has to offer? A third more subtle message emerges, perhaps as a result: sometimes modernizers get something right. This recognition appears in Hatherley's frank admiration for the "superb mini-city" (221) of Leicester University, a near-elegiac description of Edinburgh, and a fulsome appreciation of post-blitz Coventry: "The real dogmatists are those who would dismiss the city simply because it (was) new." (125)
All three messages are discharged in a rapid-fire aesthetic critique of Britain's places, laced with racy contempt for their dismalness. For social commentary, however, one must call a halt to the exhilarating journey, and study what is really being said. Unlike Cobbett, Hatherley rarely observes the human conditions he speaks of: evidence for what people actually do is provided by the places they live in. Here lies the rub: the problems underlying Blair's monumental legacy need attention in their own right.
Luton is defined by its appalling airport, a child of mass holidays mated with neoliberal cost-cutting, which distains functionality even as it proclaims itself the latest thing in luxury. Anyone who has fought their way out of the airport after 10 p.m. will bear out this judgement: yet Luton itself is one of Britain's "Minority white" cities, home to a decent and respectful multifaith society which, alongside Southall and Bradford, deserves one day to be celebrated as the birthplace of a genuinely 'new British way of life, free from the cant and hypocrisy of those who only poke fun at it.
Poking fun at Luton is an English pastime. Like the suburbs, it makes an easy target; it's where the other half lives. But the great unwashed, as the Victorians dubbed them, live where they can, not where they want--just as Luton's short-haul flights exist because most people can't afford much else. The ancient sport of mocking the worse-off rests on a lifestyle made possible by a poverty that is alternately ridiculed and pitied by those who hound it.
It's not enough. The finest reflections on modernity--Yeats comes to mind--identify the spark of hope that smoulders at the heart of chaos.
Hatherley acknowledges the limitations of his own critique: Plymouth is "a reminder of just how necessary modernisation was." (181) However, his sardonic demolition ultimately works because it spears, with surgical precision, the hypocrisy of New Labour's "Modernization" which was, and still is, deployed as an ideological bludgeon, spinning the mere fact that time moves forward into a profoundly Victorian agenda both in its treatment of the ordinary people of Britain, and its proclivity for making war on the ordinary people of everywhere else. Hatherley's barbs, at their best, verge on Swiftean satire.
Yet the ultimate curse of satire is ignorance of its own limits. The book lacks what Marx and Engels deployed when they constructed a painstaking social criticism of Victorian bleakness, whilst at the same time showing why, and how, a new age could come of it. In Hatherley's book, the most discernible alternative is the glory that once was Britain.
In the Britain I know (I cannot, in all honesty, say love), new kinds of life, and new kinds of work, are emerging in new kinds of cities, despite the modernizers and in defiance of them. Over two million people--many absurdly over-exploited, and restlessly conscious of it--work in a creative sector which has grown, during the most sluggish decade of Britain's post-war history, at a steady 2.7 per cent a year. As far as Hatherley is concerned, the "seaside city of Brighton and Hove is a place with a radically immaterial economy of tourism, property, media and 'creativity' which has a "large and ignored working-class." (149) To my unkind reading, this simultaneously insults any manual worker who uses her brain, and disqualifies everyone who doesn't hump bricks or bend metal from the title of truly working class.
Radhika Desai and I describe such myopia as a "machinocratic" vision, by analogy with the 18th-century ideas known as physiocracy (in Kees van der Pijl, ed., Handbook of the International Economy of Production [Aldershot: Elgar, 2015]). The physiocrats thought all value came from nature, which true labour worked up by tending the land. Machinocracy holds that true value comes from things, which true labour works up by tending machines.
The distortion is exemplified by Hatherley's architect's-eye use of buildings as a prism for viewing humans; as if landscapes count for more than what people do in them. I vividly remember when Glasgow and Edinburgh abandoned "slum clearance" and began working with residents to turn homes into liveable spaces; that modern turning point was integral to the present state of the very cities that Hatherley eulogizes for their past greatness. Many of London's worst high-rises (though some are indeed beyond redemption) are being gentrified into desirable residences. It is Britain's class system, not its architecture, which holds back the natural creativity of its residents.
The book tells us that we must reflect, much more deeply, on the concept of "modernization." History's transformative movements were never badged as modernizing. We do not find revolutionary banners inscribed "Liberte, Egalite, Modernite, any more than a dream of Martin Luther King that the world will one day be modern. Visionaries like Popova and Rodchenko made Russia the storm-centre of the avant-garde without ever worshipping modernity for its own sake. Nye Bevan, founder of Britain's Old Labour, never spoke of a "modern" health service: his goal was simply to have one at all, for the first time in history.
Visionary movements of change sweep away antiquity by creating modernity, not by worshipping it. The very word "Modernization" divides the world into the enlightened and those who stand in their way. The first are invariably a rich and privileged minority while the expendable remainder turn out, when studied with due care, to be the majority. "Modernization" is an intrinsically reactionary project: a mythological defence of the status quo which repackages anyone who resists it as an ignorant obstacle to progress.
It then falls to the expendables to construct a true modernity. Any traveller who pauses long enough to view the world through their eyes can see it. A marvellous antidote to the follies of post-Thatcher pretentiousness, and a must read for anyone who has yet to visualise them, A New Kind of Bleak is the ultimate travelogue: an exhibit in its own museum.

This past week, Miami based Intellaclaim Public Adjusters settled a Hurricane Katrina & Wilma claim for a residence in Cape Cutler Estates located in Miami-Dade County, in beautiful Palmetto Bay Florida. Their insurance company paid only $8,969.29 back in 2005 for Interior ceiling stains throughout the entire house, yet only $713.68 was issued for the hurricane damaged roof. Their insurance company felt the roof was leaking because it was improperly designed and had nothing to do with the two Hurricanes which had recently passed. More than 6 years later, a settlement was finally reached after very lengthy negotiations, turning down insulting $10,000 offers and numerous re-inspections. Our clients were very pleased to settle for $69,682.97.
